Furniture giant IKEA filed two unannounced smart lights with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) last week, marking an ongoing effort to expand its Matter smart home ecosystem with a more diversified lighting lineup.
The new filings unveil the UNDERSEGEL ceiling light and a battery-powered luminaire called SPEGELBLANKT, both featuring Thread and Matter connectivity.
UNDERSEGEL Ceiling light
Product label and schematic images reveal tech spec and design details for an IKEA ceiling light named UNDERSEGEL. The device, modeled T2501, is a circular fixture with a wide, domed outer ring.
According to the provided product label, the UNDERSEGEL Ceiling Light operates on a 120 V ~ 60 Hz power supply. Due to this rating, the fixture should be designed for the US, CA, and JP markets. The device has an energy draw of 18W, which typically produces an estimated brightness of around 1,500 to 1,800 lumens, a regular rating for primary light source.
The radio testing reports suggest the light features Bluetooth, Thread, and Zigbee connectivity for smart home integration.
The accompanying product image illustrates the back of the fixture. It features a central circular mounting area equipped with standard keyhole slots for installation. Surrounding the center is a gray baseplate that includes three distinct, curved cutouts. A specific rectangular section on the outer edge of this baseplate indicates where the regulatory product label is placed.
SPEGELBLANKT
The second device, identified as the SPEGELBLANKT, is a battery-powered portable luminaire. The product label features a prominent Matter setup code, confirming its Matter capabilities. Different from other devices from IKEA for Matter, the FCC fillings for SPEGELBLANKT did not include Zigbee reports, meaning it only supports Matter-over-Thread, and won’t be able to pair with a remote using Zigbee Light Link.
The label indicates a long, square hardware design featuring dual keyhole slots for wall mounting, suggesting it may function as a hanging night light. It operates on a 5V DC at 2W input but is primarily powered by a 2,600mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery.
The SPEGELBLANKT documentation also points to a new replaceable battery system. It requires battery models ICBL7.2-18-USBC-B1 or ICBL7.2-18-B1 (7.2V 2600mAh). This appears to be an update to the previous BRAUNIT battery pack (model ICBL7.2-18-USB-A1) currently used in IKEA smart blind. Based on the naming patterns, these updated battery options likely feature a USB-C port for charging. They are also expected to share a standardized physical design with older models to maintain eco-friendly cross-compatibility across IKEA’s hardware ecosystem.
Matter releases have become a regular for IKEA, as new products and regulatory certifications pop up each month. Following the availability of the VARMBLIXT lamp, the TOFSMYGGA outdoor plug and the GRILLPLATS indoor plug are now listed in IKEA stores worldwide.
Looking ahead, we are also expecting the release of a new Matter light driver DUBBELKISEL for the cabinet lighting system.
IKEA did not immediately respond to Matter Alpha’s inquiries regarding the UNDERSEGEL and SPEGELBLANKT devices as of press time. Since they are not Thread or Matter certified at the moment, we may have to wait longer for them to become available.
